Whiskey sour

Actor and "Jackass" creator Johnny Knoxville (right) tells Maxim magazine that he'd like to write a book if his movie career doesn't work out.

"I've started writing, but when you hear about an actor writing a novel, you want to shoot yourself," Knoxville told the magazine. "I would like to go back to writing, but whiskey always gets in the way. I ruined myself on Tennessee whiskey by the time I was 15. Whiskey usually brings out the best or worst in me."
